Crystals (ISSN 2073-4352) is an open access journal that covers all aspects of crystalline material research. Crystals provides a forum for the advancement of our understanding of the nucleation, growth, processing, and characterization of crystalline and liquid crystalline materials. Their mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, and their diverse applications, are all considered to be of importance. Additionally, we encourage contributors to send articles focused on crystals research (of small and high molecular weight). Their characterization by using modern techniques for crystal growth and high resolution characterization such as synchrotron radiation and modern methods for the growth of crystals for X-ray free electron lasers (XFELS) would also be welcome.Crystals can be used as a reference and publication source for the crystalline research community. Crystals publishes reviews, regular research articles and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental, theoretical and computational results in as much detail as possible so that results can be reproduced. Therefore, there is no restriction on article length.Subject AreasAll classes of crystalline materials, either in bulk or as thin films, such as:semiconductorsmagnetic systemssuperconductorsgraphenephotonic crystalspiezoelectric crystalsferroelectric crystalsoptical crystals, including nonlinear and laser crystalsscintillating crystalsperiodic metamaterialsminerals and biomineralsmetalssaltsliquid crystalsbiomoleculessmall organic molecules, including drugscocrystalsmesocrystalsCrystal growth techniques include, but are not limited to:conventional crystal growth, including Bridgman, Czochralski, top seeding, solid state conversion, high temperature flux methodsmolecular beam, chemical beam, and vapor phase epitaxydesign and processing of photonic crystals and metamaterialsnon-classical growth by particle attachment and fusionCharacterization techniques, such as:X-ray diffractionphotoluminescenceelectron microscopy and diffractionneutron diffractionfree electron lasersscanning probe microscopycarrier transportmagnetic property measurementsRutherford backscatteringellipsometryAFM/PFMProperty characterizations, including but not limited to optical, magnetic, electronic, etc.Fundamental research into:solid-state physics and chemistrycrystalline surfacescrystalline structurecrystalline interfacecrystallization mechanisms, including liquid and amorphous precursor phases as well as clustersTopics not suitable for Crystals:Use of single crystal structural analysis for the sole characterization of molecular structures besides other techniques without a clear focus on the crystalline structure and its properties.
